BREAD WITH HERB BUTTER



Bread with Herb Butter image

Creamy herb butter is simple to make and store; roll the extra butter in waxed paper and freeze to use on bread, veggies, or fish at a later date.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dinner Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 sticks unsalted butter
A few tablespoons parsley, chopped
A few tablespoons oregano, chopped
1 baguette

Steps:

  • Combine unsalted butter, parsley, and oregano to make the herb butter. Make a slit in the baguette 3/4 of the way through, making sure not to cut all the way through. Spread some herb butter into each of the openings between the slices.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
  • Wrap the baguette in aluminum foil and bake it for 15 to 20 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs will give your breadcrumbs the best flavor. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but be sure to use only half the amount.
  • Toast the breadcrumbs: Toasting the breadcrumbs will give them a nice, nutty flavor. You can toast them in the oven or in a skillet over medium heat.
  • Don't over-process the breadcrumbs: You want the breadcrumbs to be fine, but not too fine. If you over-process them, they will become too dry and powdery.
  • Use a variety of herbs: Don't be afraid to experiment with different herbs. Some good combinations include parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme. You can also add other ingredients to your breadcrumbs, such as grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, or onion powder.
  • Store the breadcrumbs in an airtight container: Buttery herb breadcrumbs can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks. You can also freeze them for up to 3 months.

Conclusion:

Buttery herb breadcrumbs are a versatile ingredient that can be used in a variety of dishes. They can be used as a topping for casseroles and gratins, as a breading for fried foods, or as a stuffing for poultry and fish. They are also a great way to add flavor to soups and stews. With so many uses, it's no wonder that buttery herb breadcrumbs are a staple in many kitchens.
